Maybe you have already felt the same way or maybe you have never thought about that before. Anyway I’ve heard the same thing from a lot of my friends so maybe it is popular who knows;
I remember when I was a child, I mean in primary school, we went to my city of origin (Kerman) two or three times per year to visit our relatives there. When I was in Kerman I tried not to have any words in the regional dialectic. On the other hand when I was at school in Tehran, the city I lived most of my life in, I used many words and phrases in that dialectic or sometimes even talked with the special accent of that area.
Time passed and now I have a chance to know many people from different countries living far away from their home towns in Europe. The interesting fact is most of them say that while they are here they want to act in a way to show that they are different. And of course when they go back for vacations or any other reasons they intend to show that they are different (in most cases better of course !)
An example is one of my Asian friend who, as she says, eats rice with spoon here where almost everyone eat that with fork and back in her country, where everybody eat rice with spoon, she eats it with fork simply to imply that “I am not like you, I’m used to act like this”.
What is that feeling? What make us wanting to be different?
Why do we like to be in minority??

I think the subject that you wrote about it refers to one of the biggest concepts in socialogy.
people want to draw some people's attention.
this is the rule.
If the others look at you,they can find something that you wanted to show them!!of course it depends on your social rank and your personality.
by this simple act you always can be a "boss" of a group,and this is so nice.
agree?
greetings! the flaw in what Mahnoosh stated lays in the fact known as 4selves. in the psychological view of the sociological point she stated, we are made up of 4 inner selves each making a force arrow pushing us to a direction, of which only one is real and the rest are fake. the sum up of these forces makes a complex and fuzzy state usually referred to as "personality"! these forces are:
1. What I think I am
2. What others think I am
3. What I like others think I me (*very interesting and usually result of 1+2!)
4. What really I am (big absent!!).
In absence of the last one, raises these kinda paradoxical behaviors and we should take this fact into considerations that: behind every and every human behavior there exists a principal belief, either consciously or unconsciously.
Have a great number 4 selve!
